This unit really is the best small NAS server currently on the market. The options developed by Synology to access the data stored on the device work very well on both my Android phone and tablet and the backup utility is easy to set up and works well. There are so many options available that it will take several weeks to explore them all fully. I definitely recommend printing out the (156 page) user guide. It is essential reading to get the most from the device and really should be provided in printed format. Looking forward to setting up attcahed printers, experimenting with web server, buying an IP camera to use the NAS as a security system.....the list is almost endless. Just buy one, you won't regret it.

I've used this with 2 x Western Digital 2TB Green drives, primarily as a media server running Logitech Media Server and the Logitech Squeezebox Touch device.
A breeze to set up and configure, far better than a poor experience I hay with Netgear ReadyNAS.
Highly recommended, and service from DABS has been without issues.

Easy to fit the HDD's, and begin to setup. The supplied OS failed to setup the initial partition (hence the 4) but a quick download of the latest OS from the Synology website and we were up and running.

don't know how I survived without this.

This is a great product. Delightfully simple to set up. The homescreen and available apps for pc and smartphones make sharing and viewing your data and media easy but this NAS does a lot more besides that. Haven't tried all the features yet but looking forward to accessing files when away from home and the Symform application is perfect if you want total data backup security; don't think any other NAS has Symform integrated like this!

My only slight niggle is the time it takes to 'convert' photos. If you want to view photos via the Synology apps etc, the system will automatically create various thumbnail copies of each image in different sizes. This is to speed up subsequent image viewing on your different devices with varying screen sizes i.e. don't then need to download the full 5mb image when viewed on smartphone. If like me you instantly drop 25000 jpegs on there it literally takes weeks to deal with these and often needs reset along the way... hence the 4 stars
